Dolphins in Oregon

A large group of dolphins was seen swimming offshore in the Pacific by fisherman on the hunt for early season Albacore tuna. Never know what you might see when you are 50 miles from shore. Fishing out of Garibaldi, Oregon anglers often encounter whales and other mammals, this was however quite a large group on the move.

The Oregon North Coast is the perfect day trip destination or weekend getaway location for the residents of the Greater Portland Area. The beach is only about 1 hour and 30 minutes away and there is activities for everyone regardless of the kinds of things you enjoy to do.
